EPIC Entrepreneurs CIC and Simply Business have joined forces to support young aspiring business founders in Northamptonshire, strengthening pathways into entrepreneurship for 16–24-year-olds facing barriers to opportunity.

We’re sharing some bittersweet news from the EPIC team! After four incredible years of dedication and impact, Marc Pearson will be moving on from his role as Community Engagement Manager to explore pastures new, joining Oasis Charitable Trust as a Community Hub Leader from November 2025.

The 4th annual EPIC Awards  delivered its biggest celebration to date , drawing almost 150 guests , the highest attendance in the programme’s history. The event showcased the ambition, resilience and innovation of young entrepreneurs from across the UK, all connected through the EPIC Entrepreneurs programme. This year marked a major milestone, as EPIC alumni Aryan Gulzar of AKG Media  returned not just as a guest, but as Headline Sponsor the first EPIC graduate to do so. Alo
